The creators of the animated series South Park announced the show will be temporarily renamed 'South America' as a jab at President Donald Trump's recent renaming initiatives.
The animation duo Trey Parker and Matt Stone revealed that the long‑running series South Park will be aired under the temporary title "South America". The change is presented as a tongue‑in‑cheek response to a series of renaming actions undertaken by U.S. President Donald Trump, which have sparked widespread commentary.
In a brief statement released on social media, the creators said the new title underscores the absurdity they perceive in the political trend of altering place names and other designations. The move does not affect the show's content or schedule; episodes will continue to air as usual, merely bearing the altered banner.
Fans and media outlets have noted the timing, linking the satire to recent headlines about Trump's proposals to rename cities, streets and even federal agencies. While some viewers appreciate the political humor, others await further clarification on whether the rebranding will extend beyond a single episode.
The announcement comes as South Park approaches its 26th season, reinforcing its reputation for swift, topical commentary on current events. No official response from the White House has been reported.
